Today I drove a C63 for the first time. The owner is a subcontractor boss at work who came down to discuss some things. Soon as the meeting was finished I asked for a p ride. To my suprise he tossed the keys at me and said its all insured enjoy! I said I'll only take round the industrial estate but then we have a tunnel right by us so the journey lasted a bit longer.
What can I say about the car? Well it feels like its built like a merc should be, solid through and through. The seats are great and cabin is a lovely place to be.
This the most powerful car I've had the luxury to drive so I thought I'd make the most of it, so sport + it was it would light the tires so easily and the TC would intervene but from then on it was lean back and enjoy v8 noise and power. The noise through the tunnel was immense with all 4 windows down it was bliss.
The way the thing accelerates is relentless and I was looking for straight bits of road to mash the pedal as I didn't fancy doing it on a corner. The engine is superb.
I returned to the office car park and put it in P opened the doors and the fans were on full trying to cool the massive v8 which made me embarrassed as I thought he might realise what I'd been doing but when I turned the engine off they stopped All I then had to wait for was the smell off hot/burnt tyres to go. I did no hard cornering it must just have been the immense horse power tearing them apart in a straight line.
